Scarlet, sapphire, and saffron the sunset silks are With graceful velvet melodies the iris embrace And amid tendrils of rain my soul enrapture, As the lucid lunar fawn the marrow enshrouds.
Copp’ry refrains descend as wisps of solar hair, Coos soothing her eb’ny eye dress cosmic regalia, Passion plaintive pools of Neptune’s star-milk splash Upon the lavender pale bodice of twinkling Orion.
Thank you both very much, i am glad that you enjoyed it. It is different than what i usually write, but hey, lol, I can't complain. Have a wonderful day, and thanks again.

Hi KW.
This is a very visual, colorful and sendsual piece that rounds nicely as couplets.
The opening: Scarlet, sapphire, and saffron the sunset silks are With graceful velvet melodies the iris embrace
and closing Passion plaintive pools of Neptune’s star-milk splash Upon the lavender pale bodice of twinkling Orion

Well done! ~Cleo

This is beautiful Nick! I've read your works before and this one is somewhat different but I like it a lot. I've seen your poems at Arcane Artistry and to be honest I had trouble understanding them. LOL Maybe it was just me! Anyway, this one is beautiful!
